I have had a ongoing dialog going with a Lt. Ward at CVG. I plan on flying in and picking up the rest of my party a few days later. Here in Washington I can carry in the common areas of the airport per state law (RCW9.41.300 1E) so I wanted to know if I showed up to get them I could carry on the airport drive or at baggage claim.

Mr. Starks,
Thanks for your prompt response. I will give you the KRS numbers and
sections that spell out exactly what you are referring to. They
reference the areas in which a person is subject to inspection prior to
entering. You are correct that carrying a weapon into those areas is
prohibited. We also have an Airport ordinance that extends that
prohibition to all of the Airport's Terminal buildings. All entry doors
from the public into the Terminal Buildings are clearly marked with the
following, "THE POSSESSION OF CONCEALED WEAPONS, EVEN WITH PROPER
PERMIT, IS HEREBY PROHIBITED IN THIS AREA".
You are obviously a very intelligent and articulate man. You will
notice that the posting above mentions only "CONCEALED WEAPONS". A
handgun worn on the outside of your clothing would not be in violation
of this. However you certainly realize that the spirit of the law in this
case would be violated. This act may cause "public inconvenience,
annoyance or alarm" however which would fall under Disorderly Conduct
KRS525.060.
In closing, a handgun brought into any of our airport buildings, if
detected, would draw a great deal of attention from law enforcement.
This type of attention would not be desired by a law abiding citizen
like yourself. My recommendation, from one gun carrier to another,
would be secure your weapon in the trunk of the vehicle you are driving
when coming to the Airport. By doing this there would be no issue if
you needed to enter any of the buildings.
The Kentucky Revised Statutes that refer to all this are the
following:
KRS 237.110(12)(g)
KRS 237.110(12)(a)
KRS 237.110(12)(e)
KRS 237.060(2)
Kenton County Airport Board Ordinance 01.06.15
Thank You and if there is anything else I can assist you with, please
do not hesitate to let me know.

There is no spirit of the law, there is no gray area. The law says Concealed. OpenCarry is a protected right in Kentucky. Can someone show me where in the KRS that a holstered weapon on a person going about their business is a cause for "public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm" ??
